Hi there!
I don't know if you know, but I know I love the music of Rasputina!

And one of my favourite songs of theirs is "Wicked Dickie"
I'm not entirely sure what the song is ACTUALLY about? But the lyrics tell the story of a farmer who's beloved Cow - named Wicked Dickie - has died.

IMHO this is the BEST song I have ever heard about a dead cow, and I have wanted to - for a while- make a doll based on Wicked Dickie, the Cow.
But I'm not sure what kind of Cow?
Rasputina's Music is based on themes of America in the 1800's, so I've googled to find the most likely breeds from that time.
Which do you think would be best as a doll?

Here are the options:

A). Longhorn
B). Hereford
C). American Brahman
D). Other (comment)

Guys. My dolls have tits. And curves. and Pecks.
So
How would we feel about...Lewd scenes?
Potentially bought on Gumroad?
Cos momma Lou needs bird seed money.

I did another Impromptu stream.

Behold, here is the recording of my very awkward, first ever live stream.

Okay, so circumstances have changed, taking plunge now.

I've started a Patreon!

Although I will be taking on extra shifts at my shop job, your support would be greatly appreciated.

Hello there!

So I know I only recently posted my first ever batch of Adoptables that Come With Art Dolls, but I already have another batch in mind (one of them is almost already done).

I've noticed Marble is coming in to fashion - I'm assuming because of Vaporwave? I'm sorely tempted tio try out texturing my dergs (prolly male ones) with Marble texture. What do you think?

I've also been experimenting A LOT with cabochons, thanks to the awesome Youtube tuts out there:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQj.....kpsM&t=13s - Crafsman rocks, I love their voice

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsS.....1w&t=2229s

Bubblegum has glass cabochon eyes, but with drawn details, I want to move on to Nail polish. If you follow me on instagram or FB you'll probably seen my wips

Would you like to see more wips? even if they're just sketches and crafting? not necessarily sewing?

Hello guys!

does anyone know how to get the Ko-fi button to work? I am rubbish with formatting etc. and would really appreciate the help!

Because I am, and I'm a lot more active on there!

https://www.instagram.com/loucathwil

Facebook too! I do have a page for my work, I'm mostly on there as me, just being...me, and not uploading art often.

here's the page for my art dolls etc.

Just a little reminder :) here's my price sheet:

I love me them Animal-perspective books, and this one is from the pov of a Utah Raptor!

I loved Robert T Bakkers Raptor Red! And we need more books like thiiis!

I've been watching Droemar on DA for years, and I'm excited to see their work develop and succeed.

I did the thing

I'm sucking less and less at it :>

I'm loucathwil on there.

I'm hijacking this journal idea from  Sewpoke as it's the only form of silver lining I can see from this absolute cluster fuck of a ...shit...can't even put it into words right now.

But, to quote Sewpoke:

Our pound has fallen to it's lowest in decades

It's bad news for us, but for those outside the UK, the exchange rate will hurt much less!!

also we're all screwed, and we need your money for a) relocation or b) alcohol!

I'm so sorry Europe. I'm so sorry 52% of UK Voters are bigoted 'other'-blaming fucktards and 28% who could vote, didn't.

Post any Pro-brexit junk on my page and I WILL block you, screw being impassive, you are NOT a potential customer to me.

Heya!

So I've done the thing that most of us is doing; setting up an account on Furry Network https://beta.furrynetwork.com/loucathwil/

And I've used the handy little option to sync my work from here to FN to hopefully save time. BUT.

All my uploads are stuck in drafts, I checked the help message bit, and they said something about tagged words under the pictures affecting it?

....eeeeehhhhh

Do I Reeeaaaally need to check the tags of all 317 of my submissions? is there a quicker way?

best wishes

Hey there,

Just curious, was wondering how to get some more feedback from my watchers - I've asked a couple of important questions in regards to my art dolls work, and generally providing things folks would like to purchase from me:

I've already posted journals and tweets etc. asking for suggestions on what to offer if/when I set up a patreon. I have loads of awesome ideas for art dolls that I want to pursue:

Centaurs
Quad/feral characters
Raptors/Birds/Wyverns
Dragons
Mixed media - Zips on mouth and body, (functioning) Clock faces, Astronauts (plastic bauble for helmet) etc.

But I can't justify working on these without a steady income. I'm unemployed at the moment and am having to put aside crafting time to job hunt.

Please, I'm guessing you guys dig my work or you wouldn't be faving it or leaving such kind comments! Please give me some advice and suggestions on what I can do to make my patreon happen, and what to offer to keep donators happy.

I've already gotten some great advice from the patreon Help desk, but it would mean a lot to hear it from you guys

Please,

Lou

Guys, I commissioned this Custom Landlotl from Landlotl a while back but haven't used them at all.

I bought them for $15

http://landlotl.deviantart.com/art/.....lotl-494559515

Here's a base transfer I commissioned too, for $20

http://landlotl.deviantart.com/art/.....sfer-531156657

here's more information on Landltols if you're curious:

I'd be looking for something with VERY SIMPLE markings, that I could replicate on an art doll. I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for, but I know I love:

Axolotls/salamanders/Amphibians in general, Lizards, cats, pigeons, flamingoes, Snails, Gremlins, dragons, Dinosaurs: theropods and sauropods, Pterosaurs, Synapsids (Mammal - like - reptiles e.g: dimetrodon), Daffodils (the flower).

I like natural colouring, but have a soft spot for http://sta.sh/0hllztdkj01

I'd also be happy to give these a go:

Ungulates (hoof cloven), fish (love cat fish), Arthropods, Mosasaurs, cetaceans.

thanks

Lou

Guys I've been thinking for months about setting up a Patreon, as I have quite a few ideas for art dolls that I would like to experiment on and hone, but I need the paid time to work on them comfortably. I'm not sure what I could offer my donators. I've thought of raffling off completed dolls and taking suggestions/votes on pieces. Any thoughts?

It's true :)

I've been a happy customer for many years, and now I will try my hand at being a seller

https://society6.com/loucathwil

At the moment I'm just selling items with photos of my Art doll work on them, but I do have ideas for pictures to put on shirts aswell!

If you have any suggestions for specific pictures you'd like to see on stuff, or advice on how to make them more appealing, I'd appreciate the input :)

Hey there guys, I hope you don't mind, but I'm gunna put this idea on the back burner until I'm making money. I've recently gotten a new job and have yet to receive my wages.
I'm also open for commissions at the moment, 4 slots!

I work on a first pay, first serve basis

pm me for a quote or any questions you may have :)

Okay, so in my previous journal I talked about a potential raffle for characters with hooves http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7257047/

Since this piece would be free, I'm going to impose some limits

The raffle would be for me to make a doll following either my perry Girl pattern, or the masculine or androgynous adaptations of this pattern.

It would be for a free Art doll made by me. Stuffed with polyester stuffing, Digitigrade Ungulate, protruding Ears, Basic Horns/Antlers, Tail, 2-3 body colours, and basic hair or mane (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14866969/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13043044/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15680479/) included. P&P paid by me.

The following extras would require payment*:

Wings/2nd pair of arms
Armature or Plastic beads stuffing (and would need payment for p&p, due to increased weight)
complex Markings (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18030739/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16351715/
Complex hair (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18426868/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13699877/)

*You'd only pay for the extra parts, but not the plush itself, so it's still a huge discount!

I'd really like to know what you think; if you have any advice/suggestions on how best to conduct the raffle I'd be happy to hear them (I'm thinking of videoing myself pulling the name out of a hat, posting it on youtube), and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask!

Thank you

Louise

Guys, I've been sitting on the pattern for a horse hoof AND a cloven hoof feet for a while now, as well as that of the masculine body.

I'd like to try them out on a character, but would rather do it on someone that is guaranteed to go straight to a new home.

Would you guys be interested in a raffle for the chance to get your bovine/cervine/equine/suine/etc. character as a plush?

let me know!

Lou xx
